- The day of his release after his bail for a minor drug offense was paid by a dodgy lawyer, graduate Graham Randall is fatally stint-stabbed during prison exit processing. Only witness is Jane's former kidnapper, cancer-terminal serial killer Charles Hoyt.

Meanwhile Frankie passes his detective exam.—KGF Vissers
- In jail, a young man (Glen Powell) signs his stuff out. The guard says a good natured good-bye. The now ex-con goes into the bathroom to change. Someone in prison orange comes out of a stall and viciously attacks him, shiving him repeatedly.
In Maura's office, Maura and Angela try to come up with birthday presents for Jane. Her mom is throwing her a surprise party, even though Jane hates surprises. Frankie comes in for some relaxation techniques in advance of his detective's exam.
They're interrupted by Jane, who comes for Maura to go to the stabbing in the jail. The victim probably won't survive.
At the jail, a guard stops them to get their shoes, jacket and bags. Warden Price insists they go through full security. Jane remembers Price as a former defense attorney she's gone up against in court and beat numerous times. She thinks he's making things personal as he subjects Maura to a pat down.
Price gets a call that the victim just died. Jane is pissed that the warden's stalling kept them from talking to the victim before he died. He's 22 year old Graham Randall. He was in three weeks for possession of cocaine, a misdemeanor. Jane wants Randall's records, but Price insists on a subpoena. She yells at him and he calls her hysterical, further endearing himself to her.
Korsak and Frost arrive.
They check out the body. He was stabbed in each of his kidneys, an excruciating way to die. As they're looking at the body, Jane hears a familiar voice from behind a curtain -- she goes to look and sees it's her old tormentor, Charles Hoyt (Michael Massee), the serial killer who stalked and kidnapped Jane and stabbed her through the hand with a scalpel. He says he has a lot to tell her.
Price explains he's in the jail after receiving treatment for cancer. Jane reminds Price that he escaped before by faking appendicitis.
Maura wants to look at his medical records to make sure he's not faking, but he won't allow it.
Hoyt taunts her to come closer so he can tell her a secret. He asks Korsak to leave. Maura tapes Hoyt as he talks about the fall of 2005.
He says he loves the feel of white velvet. "A young eagle lost its family of four," he says. He asks if they came through the west gate. He says he did something very bad, but that he's bored talking to her.
Back at the station, Jane is grumpy, expecting nightmares for months. Maura reveals that she stole a vial of Hoyt's blood.
Korsak and Frost have Graham's belongings along with three shivs from cells. He had a lawbook, which Jane finds odd for someone in jail three weeks. He was a college grad who ran a red light and got caught with coke.
Maura is fascinated by the shivs made out of a tooth brush and chain link, but they're not the murder weapon.
Frankie checks on Jane. He thinks he bombed the detective's exam.
Jane watches the video Maura took of Hoyt on the sly. Jane's lieutenant tries to get her to focus on the current case instead of Hoyt. Korsak and Frost talk to the victim's mother. She couldn't get the $5,000 for bail, but Graham called and said "an angel" would be coming by with the money. A stranger showed up about an hour later with the cash.
Graham had been accepted to law school.
Maura cuts open Graham's bowel I the morgue and finds a tiny balloon. She cuts it open and finds teeth -- four from different people.
Two are from adults and two are from children -- removed before the victim's died.
Maura's computer dings, confirming the hot air balloon ride she was going to get Jane for her birthday. Maura checks Hoyt's blood work and finds he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
Upstairs, Korsak mentions Graham was going to Boston College -- whose mascot is the eagle. Jane thinks Hoyt is involved with Graham's death.
Jane and Korsak go look up cold cases from 2005. Hours later, they have found nothing in all the unsolved murders from 2004 to 2006. Korsak heads home while Jane keeps looking.
The next day, Jane runs upstairs in the same clothes. She remembers Hoyt said an eagle "lost" their family, so she went to Missing Persons and found the Wilsons -- a father, mother and two daughters. Their son was dropped off at college Boston College and he never heard from them again.
Dr. Wilson was a medical professor at Emory, where Hoyt went. Frost finds Jacob Wilson's license. Jane wants to confirm the teeth belong to his family.
Maura takes DNA from Jacob. He shows Jane a picture his roommate took on the first day of college, his youngest sister was wearing a white velvet headband.
One the first day of school they went to the family pancake breakfast and blood drive, then his family left him at his dorm room. Both of his parents went to BC, where Westgate Park is.
Frost confirms Hoyt was in Boston in '05, he was working for a mobile blood drive. Jane shows Jacob an old photo of Hoyt. Jacob remembers his dad talked to the guy who drew his blood for awhile, he was one of his students. His dad was surprised the guy ended up in a dead-end job.
Jane and Korsak try to sell Cavanaugh on the connection between the cases. He says Warden Price won't let Jane talk to Hoyt again.
She lays out their theory, playing Hoyt's message about Westgate. Jane wants to go look for the bodies. Maura brings in the DNA results -- the teeth belonged to the Wilsons.
In Westgate Park, they conduct a search for the bodies. After eight hours of searching, Cavanaugh is ready to quit.
TV news van pulls up. A reporter says an official at the jail told him they weren't looking for Graham's killer. He tries to insinuate she doesn't care about prisoner deaths.
Back at her house, Jane tries to figure out what Hoyt meant. She whines about her birthday, which she says never turns out the way she imagines it.
They watch the video of Hoyt again. He mentions the Weeping Willows died that year. Maura knows they grow near water and Jane remembers Hoyt said "through" Westgate, not in. Jane knows where the Wilsons are.
Cut to search teams pulling a car out of a pond. There are four skeletons inside.
Jane wonders why Hoyt would tell her now.
In the morgue, Maura examines the bodies and says their throats were slit.
Jane gets a call that Hoyt is dying and asking to see her to tell her about all the people he's killed.
Frost tracks down Graham's bail money, which was put into evidence when he was killed. They run it for prints and find a thumb print.
Jane and Maura go to see Hoyt, who doctors say won't last the night. He calls for Jane to come closer, so he can tell her more bad things he has done. She leans in and he sits up and grabs her around the neck. Jane shouts at the guard to get him off her, but instead he takes out a taser and holds in Maura, saying he'll watch.
Frost and Korsak get a hit on the fingerprint, it's Rod Mason, the guard currently holding Jane and Maura hostage.
Hoyt taunts Jane with the taser, saying he knew Graham was the perfect mule when he heard he was going off to Boston college. Mason hands Hoyt a scalpel and Maura realizes that Mason used it to kill Graham himself.
Hoyt tells Jane he's dying but is going to take Jane and Maura with him. He slices Jane lightly across the throat to make his point.
Korsak and Frost race to the jail, but the infirmary is locked from the inside.
Mason holds down Jane as Hoyt goes over to Maura with the scalpel. He shocks her with the taser so she can't resist and Maura falls limply on the stretcher. Hoyt starts to drag the scalpel across Maura's neck and Jane screams and fights back.
She slams her head into Mason's face, stunning him. She gets the taser and shocks Mason, then knocks Hoyt across the room. She and Hoyt end up on the floor grappling for the scalpel. Jane's hands are cuffed but she gets ahold of it and straddles Hoyt.
She raises the scalpel over her head and drives it deep into Hoyt's chest. "I win, and you're going to hell alone!" she shouts at him.
Mason stands up behind her and starts to come at her, but Korsak bursts through the door and shoots him.
Frost checks on Maura, who is woozy, but alive. Korsak holds onto Jane and assures her it'll be alright.
Jane goes to the bar anticipating a surprise, but there is none. She heads home and finds everyone gathered there. Maura is stooping to drinking beer from a can after the day she had. Jane says she got her birthday wish, with Hoyt dead. Frankie presents his gift: he got a 96 on the detective's exam.
Maura gives Jane a box. It has racing shoes inside. Then she gaves Jane her gift certificate to race car driving school. Jane loves it.
